Island Peak Base Camp | Day 04 EBC and Three Passes Trek 

Glad you like them!

Thank you

👍

Yeah, more information on the trail.

Thank you

Thank you bhai

You will be able to do it. Needs planning and preparation. That's all.

Haha

Susceptibility towards cold varies from body to body. I would agree with you as in my case it is the acclimatization and the long term adaptation towards cold that has helped me become less susceptible to cold. Further, the jackets were good, I guess.

Thank you

Thanks again

I will be dropping rest of the episodes soon.

Just include running in your daily routine and optimize the weight of your backpack. We don't usually struggle against the mountain, we struggle against the heavy bag that we carry on our shoulders.

It is NOT mandatory to take a guide or porter. You can get the permit on the trail itself. Just carry you ID cards with you.

I decided not to put it.

@@Creedaz y so?

Nope

Yes

I don't relate to it much. But I guess, one can do it if he/she feels the need to do so.

I think offloading spoils the whole point. There are many so called "trekkers" who can't even carry their own stuff and go for the high altitude leisure walk just to make stupid vlogs and reels. I can understand offloading as an emergency option in case of health issues but opting for offloading as a paid service is such a shame !

It is tough to pick one.

@@Creedaz any one recommendation?

I do Astro so I think can answer your question. Night sky depends on a lot of conditions depending on the season, the cloud cover, moon face, humidity, how high and how far you're from the lights. From March to October you can actually see milky way core in the sky, and after that comes the Orion season in the winter sky. Almost all the treks above Bortle 4 locations will give you amazing night sky keeping in mind the fact that there is no moon in the sky and if it would have rained a day before the sky becomes even more clearer. I live in Bortle 3 location in Himachal and the new moon nights are just amazing my friend, you can easily identify milky way panning across the sky.

@@vaibhavchelsea8 Thank you! This bortle concept was new for me.
